题目内容

W: Not yet. Are there a lot of changes?
M: There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we will now be able to choose how many per week we want and can contract for just that amount. We still have to pay for the whole year at the beginning. But we can choose to buy seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get for a week marked on it.
W: That's a big change Tom. And a complicated system.
M: Yeah. But it will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they won't have to pay for meals they don't cat.
W: So what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time?
M: It's better for them too. Because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is.
W: I see. It still sounds rather complicated.
M: True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the ten-meal plan.
W: Why is that?
M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten-meal plan gives me lunch and dinner every weekday at a fairly low price. And I won't be paying for meals I don't usually eat.
W: And what about the weekend when you are on campus?
M: Well, there are often guests on campus on weekends. So they allow you to buy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher in that way. But I am away so much that it will still be less money for me to pay single prices on the weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen-meal a week plan.
W: Oh, I guess I'll have to sit down and figure out my eating pattern so I can get the best deal.
What's the main feature of the new method of paying for meals?

All students pay the same amount per year.
B. Students choose how many meals a week they will pay for.
C. Students get money back for meals they don't eat.
D. Some students get free meals.

听力原文:W: Stan, do you have a minute?
M: Oh, hi, Cathy, sure. What's up?
W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: I'm not in that very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.
W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office. But have you notice? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M: Has anybody spoken to him about it?
W: No, not yet. But someone's going to have to.
M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?
W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office.
M: Hum, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When TAs have to talk with the students, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there's a room down the hall; a rather small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.
W: You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small.
M: Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
W: Come to think of it, you maybe on to something. I'd like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now?
M: Sure, let's go.

B. There is too much noise.
